Singer Featherweight Drip Pad

If your Singer Featherweight 221 has a funky smell, there is an excellent chance that replacing the drip pad will rid you of most if not all of the stench.

Over the years, these pads become saturated with oil, but the also take in a goodly amount of moisture and become breeding grounds for mildew (or something, we're not even sure what). A new felt pad will keep any overflow oil from mussing your sewing projects. But it will also banish the bad smells in virutally every instance.

Quite simple to replace, the hardest part is getting the old pad out. It may take some scraping, but once you've got a clean dry surface in the drip pan, these new pads go on in a jiffy.
